Does SubEthaEdit or the OS (Snow Leopard) control the double-click selection?

I updated to 3.5 at roughly the same time I installed Snow Leopard so I don't know which is causing it - but double clicking on a javascript variable is also selecting the period and function. So double clicking variableName.function(); selects "variableName.function" whereas previously it would only select "variableName".

Is this a SubEthaEdit thing? I don't recall it doing it in the past - didn't want to post this as a bug on BugShelf if it's an OS thing.

(Also, as a note about BugShelf, why don't you use a regular bug tracker that displays open issues so people don't report already known bugs?)

It's a change in Snow Leopard, but we are currently contemplating to
make SubEthaEdit behave like 10.5 in that case, as the change strikes
us as odd in general, and especially in a code editor context.

We like to have everything in one place and don't split up public/
private bug tracking.
Also, duplicates, if they happen at all, help us to see how often a
issue surfaces, or how many people want a new feature, when it comes
to requests.

All the best,

Should I report syntax highlighting inconsistencies (PHP-HTML) on BugShelf?

We decided to handle selection differently than the standard text
system on 10.6 in that case and maintain 10.5 behavior in 3.5.1. Apple
is welcome to chance their mind, but we should not be affected by them
reverting to 10.5 behavior too.
